ANDIAMO'S ARIZONA TRAVEL GUIDE!
Fall is the perfect time to visit Arizona due to its warm temperatures and wonderful, long autumn days. As temperatures begin to cool in the North, we recommend heading to Arizona to feel as though you’re extending your summer! There is something for every type of traveler; whether you’re looking to get outdoors, enjoy world-class spa treatments or you’re looking for an idyllic slice of nature for some serious R&R. Andiamo has put together 3 of our favorite resorts that redefine health and wellness and seamlessly incorporate the wellbeing of your mind, body and spirit within their luxurious accommodations and facilities.
Opening for the first time in 2020 since its closure in 1976, the resort that once was the preferred detox destinations for US socialites, such as the Vanderbilt family, is back in business! Castle Hot Springs is a destination for getting outdoors where guests can enjoy activities such as horseback riding, hiking, ATV or helicopter rides to explore the 210-acre property. Indulge in rejuvenation while experiencing the healing powers of the natural hot springs that have attracted visitors beginning with the Yavapai and Apache tribes. Allow Andiamo to setup the ultimate experiences to meet your vacation needs. The beautifully-appointed guest rooms were designed to invoke unparalleled luxury, complete with rich bedding, deep soaking tubs, and idyllic views of the desert. The farm, greenhouse, and orchard situated on property ensure the freshest produce with seasonal menus that change with available ingredients. The aptly named signature restaurant, Harvest, will serves daily “harvest of the day” cuisine.
